The Idaho Farmer public art to be dedicated Oct. 30

A new piece of public art will be dedicated at 1:00 p.m., October 30. The statue, “The Idaho Farmer,” is located on the sidewalk next to McEuen Park at 6th Street and Front Avenue.

“The Idaho Farmer,” created by local artist Terry Lee, was commissioned by the Jacklin family and donated to the City of Coeur d’Alene “in recognition of the Idaho Farmers who produce seeds, food and fodder from the prairies, meadows and gentle slopes of North Idaho.” The statue is located next to the extremely popular “American Worker” statue, also created by Terry Lee, and donated to the City of Coeur d’Alene by Dean and Cindy Haagenson.
